The Driveshaft problem

While driving heard clanking under the car for about 2 blocks then stoped. Took it to the dealer and found out 2 bolts had backed out of the drive shaft and one had sheared. Had the exact same problem with a 2011 Cts. I had purchased a warranty when I bought the car in 2018, car was repaired.   Read details...
